The crash happened at about 12:30 p.m., the Florida Highway Patrol said.

The crash is under investigation. The exit ramp at Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach and the outside lane there were periodically blocked well into the evening, the Highway Patrol reported.

Robert Parrish said he was shipping tomatoes to Connecticut when a blue Chevrolet Silverado with a trailer came into the left lane from the emergency right lane. Instead of hitting the overpass south of Woolbright Road, the Silverado swerved left, causing Parrish to swerve right, Parrish said.

"All I know is something hit me," Parrish said.

Parrish said he hit his brakes and swerved to the right, taking out the guard rail and flipping his truck.

Detective Andrew Cardarelli of the Broward Sheriff's Office was heading southbound on I-95 and saw the smoke. The truck was on fire. "I just knew I had to get him out of there," he said.

He stopped his car, took a sledgehammer to the window of the truck and pulled Parrish out.

Parrish said he did not he think he was severely injured. "I'm just shaken up right now is all," he said.

Cleanup efforts continued Tuesday night.

"To upright and remove the trailer portion they had to secure it with belts and other stuff to get up under it," Highway Patrol Lt. Tim Frith said. "The fear is that once they upright it and try to take it down the interstate to a storage area it would totally fall apart. "
